On March 5, 2020, the Raptors became the second team to clinch a playoff spot by defeating the Golden State Warriors.[1]

The season was suspended by the league officials following the games of March 11[2] after it was reported that Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19.[3]

The Raptors faced the Brooklyn Nets in the first round of the playoffs where they swept the Nets in four games.[4] However, they would go on to lose to the Boston Celtics in seven games in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.[5]
